“Street takeovers” have become so common within our large Democrat-controlled American cities that national media outlets have almost completely ceased reporting them. Hundreds of cars form a large circle on main thoroughfares, and the drivers spend the entire night engaging in burnouts, fights, loud music, drug use, gunfire, and random acts of violence against anyone who gets near. City officials appear totally helpless in the face of these criminal events, because they know that the only real way to crack down on them would be to bring in the military, or authorize the police to engage these delinquents with military-level force. If they did, you can be sure that CNN would be there, reporting as if in the middle of a far flung warzone, and obtaining close-up footage of cops in soldier attire attempting to take control of the situation. So they just let these takeovers happen, collateral damage, including loss of life, deemed acceptable. But what is the solution? Simply that the people engaging in the takeovers, both child and adult, should be treated as military combatants, arrested, and sent to prison for a stint. Offenders found to have a rap sheet should be removed from society for far longer than others, their vehicles confiscated, driving privileges removed for life. Civilization is a privilege afforded only to the civilized. The civilized and the peaceful are entitled to a safe environment, as politically incorrect as it might be to say so. It all sounds so heartless to anyone far removed from this sort of violence, but families of the victims surely feel differently. If cities refuse to solve the problem, the federal government should. How this violence is allowed to play out in our formerly beautiful cities boggles my mind. Rather than closing up prisons, more should be built to securely house the repeat violent offenders who seem to emerge overnight, but are more than likely learning the violent life from a very young age. All parents should be liable, although at this time the only parents to face consequences are the parents of school shooters. It’s an ugly solution, but necessary. Too few habitual criminals are handled with velvet gloves, and as result, the civilized and the peaceful are condemned to their fate.
Hundreds of felonious hooligans shut down the Bay Bridge for nearly an hour for yet another street takeover.
Police could have simply shut down each direction of the bridge, & arrested everyone involved. You know, actual consequences.
